Currently in the process of building out my mixing station as I’ve had some issues with corals dying recently and it’s just time after upgrading to a larger tank. Nothing fancy just functional brute trash cans on wood stand. The mixing station is located in the small unfinished storage area of my basement. The remaining unfinished storage has hot water heater, 2 hvac units, fridge, and random junk people acquire over the years. The remainder of the basement is completely finished and dry with carpet. Here’s the question - I bought these water heater tubs (see picture) as an additional fail safe in the event the float switch malfunctions so I don’t end up with water everywhere. I would run the drains from the tub to the floor drain in the unfinished storage where I will also run the waste line from the RO unit. Problem is that I will have to get a little more creative on plumbing the bottom of the mixing station. Is it overkill to have these or do you think they are necessary?
